Basic Page #3
Osborne nods, agreeing.
HARDY:
I didn't mean that as a compliment.
OSBORNE:
Sergeant West's served for twenty-
Three years. He's the public face
of the modern Army.
HARDY:
And you notice I'm not in the Army
anymore.
They round a corner.
STYLES:
The exercise was one of his Section
Eight "private sessions". Left around
2100 yesterday and were scheduled
for pick up at 0630 this morning.
HARDY:
And the problem is you only got three.
STYLES:
No, the problem is one's dead, one's
got a bullet in his arm, and one
won't talk. The one who won't talk
was trading live fire with the dead
one as we reached the pick-up.
HARDY:
I'm assuming that's what made him
the dead one?
STYLES:
Cadet Roberto R. Nunez. Killed right
in front of me.
OSBORNE:
Search parties for the others are
fanning out in a ten click radius
from the pickup. If they're hurt
and we can get to them in time...
8.
STYLES:
I called the JAG Corps, the two cadets
we retrieved are to be flown to D.C.
On a transport leaving here at 1700
HARDY:
Which gives us about five hours.
Why'd you call me?
STYLES:
The guy in interrogation said he'd
only talk to a cop.
HARDY:
And I'm the closest thing to it,
right?
Styles stops, turning to his friend.
STYLES:
Tom, bottom line: I let those kids
go out there. If JAG shows up and I
don't have any answers for them, my
career is finished-
HARDY:
I'm not gonna let that happen.
Styles exhales, relieved.
STYLES:
Thank you. Osborne will brief you
on the cadets. And Tom?
(half-smile)
It really is good to see you.
INT. FORT MCKINLEY -- OSBORNE'S OFFICE -- MORNING
Osborne and Hardy enter, stepping over broken glass and
hurricane debris. Hardy looks around.
HARDY:
Gotta be honest, I love what you've
Done with the place-
OSBORNE:
You and the Colonel go back.
HARDY:
He got me through Basic and a lot of
other stuff. I owe him.
OSBORNE:
You're the Tom Hardy I've been reading
about in the papers, right? New
Orleans PD fired you for taking bribes
from Guissepe Torres.
9.
HARDY:
It was for suspicion of bribery,
it's really all in the wording-
OSBORNE:
Wording and your friendship with the
Colonel aside, I'm not comfortable
having you involved in this.
HARDY:
Subtlety really isn't one of you
finer points, is it, Osborne?
Osborne opens her mouth to reply but Hardy cuts her off.
HARDY:
Three things. First - You don't
have a choice. Second- I've never
taken a bribe in my life. And Third I'm
still a little drunk from last
night, so if I skip over the witty
banter and move forward to straight
hitting on you, try not to take
offense. Tell me about the two guys.
